Did you know that as a Beachbody Fitness & Nutrition Coach I am part of a movement to end the trend of obesity in our country?
First let’s talk about stress. 77% of the population reports that they have some sort of stress & the top 3 sources of stress are: job pressure, money, & health.
Do you think Team Beachbody is equipped to help with those 3 stressors? I do.
In addition, the amount of empty calories in a kid’s diet is 40% & the average amount of soda children aged 12 to 19 drink per day is 22 ounces.
Over the past 30 years, childhood obesity has tripled & now carries a price tag of $100 billion dollars. BILLION with a “B”! Even worse: 300,000 children die each year as a result of obesity. Children who are obese have an 80% chance of becoming an obese adult.
As parents, are we going to let this continue? With the constant barrage of advertising of & reliance on junk food, it’s up to us to teach them healthy habits. Why is it that so often, we celebrate & reward with foods high in calories, sugar, & saturated fat? I think we can do better than always doing a birthday party with cupcakes or a kids’ after-game sports team meal of pizza. It’s about creating a balance. If we want to end the trend of obesity, it starts with us & what we teach our kids. It starts with YOU.
Kids learn by watching & observing us & with these statistics, it’s no wonder we’re in trouble. The total amount of calories recommended per day for the average person is 2,000 & the average actually consumed is 3,800. That means every 2.5 days you’re adding an extra pound of unnecessary weight.
Even more crippling, it’s estimated that 68% of the population is obese or overweight, with 34% being obese. On average, healthcare for an obese person costs 25% more. But obesity doesn’t just cost more money…it can cost you precious years – 9 to be exact. Nine years of your life. That’s 3,287 days or 78,888 hours. These are your parents, friends, & relatives – the people that you love. Do you think it’s important that you have the courage to talk to people & help give them 9 years of their life back? I do.
Every time you think of quitting, think of these statistics. Our behavior is literally killing us. We can no longer be lazy – or be lazy about helping people change their behavior. People helping people. That’s what we’re about.
These numbers tell a story – but WE have the power to rewrite the ending. I know we can create some healthier statistics & I think we’re the only company positioned to make a serious dent in this problem. There are millions of people out there who need your help, who need the solutions that we have. We have the power to end this trend, but it starts with you.
Are you ready? Let’s get after it!
